Rexroth on San Francisco (BPS)

Just added at the Bureau of Public Secrets website:

Kenneth Rexroth's review of Harold Gilliam's "San Francisco Bay"
http://www.bopsecrets.org/rexroth/essays/gilliam.htm

The site also presents a rich selection of Rexroth's San Francisco newspaper
and magazine columns -- http://www.bopsecrets.org/rexroth/sf . Sometimes
chatty, sometimes scathing, but always provocative, Rexroth examined every
facet of San Francisco's cultural and political life as it was happening
during the pivotal period from 1960 to 1975.
